This weekend's WebDev meeting

Actually, I'll start off with a quick summary of last weekend's meeting:

We accomplished a lot given the limited resources.  We have decided to 
save the question of
'content' and such until a) we have a clearer picture of what we 
currently have, what we need,
what we WANT, and how we are going to make it all happen.

The following pieces have been decided and will be factored into all 
designs:
    - backend code language [PERL]
    - backend user directory [decided]
    - backend authentication mechanism [decided]
    - method for customization [CSS]

This weekend we're hoping to get a bit more input as we start delving 
into things at a more detailed level.  Keep in mind that even though 
we're developing a very nice, very sound virtual template, that nothing 
has been assigned to date.  The_Alan has volunteered to make a swag at 
modifying the current site's look & feel to match the new requirements, 
and we hope to review that soon to see if we want what we THINK we 
want.  If you have ideas and want to throw together a prototype for us 
to sample, please do.  We may not take on ALL of your ideas, but we may 
well use some of them. 

We're making real progress, guys.  We're hoping to have enough settled 
after this weekend that we can get someone actually working on something 
for us to review NEXT weekend.  It'd be great to have a definite, visual 
framework.

If I don't see you before, Have a great weekend!
